Dorothy was born April 28, 1916, in Elkhart, Ind., to Lewis and Lottie Mae Baker. She loved to share her travels and stories with family and friends. Her travels included Los Alamos, N.M., and the mountains of Albuquerque, N.M. While telling her stories, she had such a way of drawing people in and having them love to listen. Dorothy was a very special person and was loved by many and will be missed by all.

She was preceded in death by her first husband of 26 years, Marion Lantz, and their loving daughter, Alice Lantz Willis; and her second husband, Paul Young, whom she shared 24 years of marriage.

Survivors include a son, Jerry Lantz of Cortez, Colo.; three stepdaughters, Wanda Anderson and husband Don of Amarillo, Elaine Messerole of Cherokee, Iowa, and Judy Porsch of Amarillo; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren

The family would like to thank the staff of Accolade Hospice and the staff at Jason’s Bay Group Home for all of their loving care and friendship for Dorothy.
